AceShowbiz - DaBaby made headlines after he was arrested in connection to an alleged robbery and misdemeanor battery with a music promoter as the victim. It was said that what triggered DaBaby to attack the promoter was because the latter shorted the rapper $10K on a $30K advance for a performance.
Following the news, Boosie Badazz (Lil Boosie) went on Instagram Live to weigh in on the arrest. Taking side with DaBaby, the Baton Rouge legend was not happy to learn the fact that DaBaby was in jail. "He in jail?!" he asked someone off-camera. "Man, I know you lying!"
"I'mma f**k that concert promoter up, b***h. I'mma whoop that b***h," Boosie lashed out. "Watch, okay -- we got you, b***h."
Although DaBaby is currently in jail, Boosie is still promoting an upcoming gig of the "Suge" rapper to perform at Boosie Bash 2020 in March. Sharing a promotional video of the Charlotte native, announcing his presence at the forthcoming Boosie Bash.
"BIH STILL ADDING THE NATIONS TOP ARTIST TO THE SHOW !! waiting on they RESPOND," Boosie wrote in the caption. "The Third Time Is The Charm... SATURDAY March 14th LIVE From The Southern University Mini Dome The 3rd Annual BOOSIE BASH Baton Rouge Hip-Hop Festival FEATURING The Hottest Talent In The NATION!!!!!

The "Kirk" star was taken to jail after robbing the music promoter of $80 and a credit card, and also poured apple juice on him. The 28-year-old hip-hop star took the man's iPhone 7 as well. The rapper was allegedly furious at the promoter for owing him $30k for a concert he was supposed to perform on Thursday. He reportedly punched a second victim in the face.
The incident happened on the side of the road in broad daylight. In a video, the man was seen lying on asphalt as DaBaby was seen forcefully emptying the man's pockets. The rapper even tried to strip the man off his pants and dragged him over the hard ground while doing so.
DaBaby was arrested Thursday afternoon, January 2 in Miami, and was subsequently charged with battery. His bail was originally set at $1,500, but he was later ordered by judge to remain in prison due to an outstanding warrant for a different case in Dallas, Texas.
